@ManannanmacLir69 who are you ? You total gobshite. That was my dear mother RIP 🙏 and my yougest brother in that video. I have only noticed your reply. You filthy reptile.
When my Dublin relatives would come down to Tralee to visit and stay for a week or so in the 60's I could not get over their wealth compared to what we had even though they were ordinary working people. Always had a nice car and cloths etc. There definitely was a big wealth gap between the average Dubliner and Kerry person back then.
It's the late 60's ,it makes me sad as I left dear Auld Dublin for London then . Still here , visit Dublin now and then, though not as regularly as I used to .
I used to travel over to Dublin regularly from London and Dublin was a lovely place! Maybe it was because i had such great friends in Dublin. We felt such great kids going to O'Connel Street on the bus. Super times!!
long before 1976, the orange buses first came on the scene in 1974 and are nowhere to be seen, but nelsons column is gone so its between 66-74, there's 1 or 2 ford anglias on grafton street and they finished being made in 1967 also most of the cars have very 1960s styled backlights, just as the peoples clothes look from the 1960s. A great video indeed and I've enjoyed thrawling the net for the last hour or so trying to get clues as to what year it was.
Late 60s probably. Haunting footage. All you have to do is point a camera at a street and in later years it will be magical. A sort of beautiful sadness about it. Thank you.
There's no sign of Nelson, & he went on 8th March 1966, so what dos that tell us about the time of ths video ! Totally enjoyed it, many thanks for sharing,
I grew up in Dublin during the 60s and this film defo has that 60s feel to it but it might be on the cusp of a decade ie, 1970 .Lovely footage by the way .
This flim is not The 1970`s, Iam The Child Selling Papers At My Mothers FlowerStall On Grafton Street, while The Paper Seller Went to the PressOffice for the evening Papers And having A pint or 2! on the way back, calling Into the bars selling His Fresh Off The Press Evening Papers.

Gosh that's just so moving isn't it! I knew you were selling papers, but I was trying to work out why it looked like you were only doing it a little bit.... such an adorable clip. I remember those pedestrian crossing controls well.. my hands remember how they felt when you pressed the button, and what the writing looked like. They had embossed black lettering. My father worked in Guinness all his life and hated when they closed Grafton Street to traffic as it made his job delivering to the pubs much more difficult. I remember those men coming into the pubs with the 'fresh' Evening Press. It must have been amazing for you to see this clip, I would give anything to see something like that of my own childhood. You mam really looks like she's taking care of you in the clip. She looks like she was a kind woman, I hope she was.
I'm inclined to agree with you.I think this must be earlier that the 70s. The video is great; I was born and bred in Dublin and this is a real trip down memory lane.
It's 1966. There's a Caltex truck which is pre 1967 and O'Connell Bridge House is there. It was built in 1965. So, late 1965 or 1966. Sherlock, eh? Great footage and music!
The quality is jaw dropping.... beautiful. (and not ruined by a hi'diddley soundtrack) - The lady and the kid with the newspapers ..... The kid looks like he has been doing that for donkeys, so natural. That shot at 3:10 is amazing, akin to a drone these days.- (Deffo pre 70's, no where near 75) - Excellent film either way, thank you for the post.
As I was between 5and 6years off age at this time I was flimed in this clip, born in 1961 it was mid to late 60s and could not be 1970's but thanks so much to who ever you ate that posted this clip
1976?! No way this vid would have made around that time - looks like it might have been filmed between 1966 - 1969 considering the fashions shown there.
Definitely earlier than 1976 - but also definitely later than 1966 as Nelson's Pillar is missing from O'Connell Street and it was blown up in April 1966. I reckon its around 1968 or so.
Definitely 1960's I was 16 years old in 1976 and it was all denim baggy trousers and denim shirts in those days. Even some of the cars and vans are very 60's , green buses too.? Great video though , I wish there was more.
I have lots of memories of this place during the 60s and 70s I grew up there. Things are supposed to get better with time in this case. Definitely not everything has gone worse. It was beautiful before half the world arrived and changed our ways of being . I live in a quiet village now in the countryside, I could not live in a big city anymore. Nothing is the same as I remember it.😢
I think the footage moves around a bit between the 60s and the 80s perhaps, given that some of the modern buildings weren't around in the 70s, I don't believe. You might check it. In the 70s guys had long hair and sometimes very very long hair down to the waist... Dubliners who were 'hip' weren't that behind the times.
I only saw one traffic light where the little boy was sitting, none on O'Connell bridge, no wonder the 70's had the highest deaths on our roads, that and drink driving and no safety belt wearing. 7/10/2013.Irish time 16:48.Monday.
Hi Tableguy, thanks for this - sounds fine by me - you may need to argue with some of the commentators on Wistorical Facebook who disagree! I would insert your caption into my introductory remarks but Facebook doesn't yet allow links to be edited that way.
The end of the film claims to be 1976 - I think this has to be wrong. The buses are the biggest giveaway. Check out the footage on UA-cam called "Driving in Dublin in 1976" Sept 4th 1976 and look at the orange buses - remember them?? I think the green buses were long gone by 1976. Also note that the film is distorted - is stretched too wide. Minis look like Hummers! Great footage though - thanks for posting.
I really think we have regressed a lot, as a society, over the last 50 years. The city looked very clean. Everyone was dressed so well. People seem very respectful.
+Brian Farrell The music is by Ludovico Einaudi and the piece is called I Giorni. Lots of tracks by him on youtube, if you have a bit of time to spare, I'd recommend giving him a listen.
All looks so idyllic and peaceful,people with money in their pockets. But sorry folks,it wasn't like that for everyone. There was massive poverty in Ireland in the 60s. Most people couldn't afford to pay their bills,work was short,and nearly everyone had to economise on everything. But saying that ,the film does bring a warmness to the heart.tnx for posting.good footage

Absolutely agree. No way it's shot anywhere remotely close to '76. Green buses were long gone by then. Traffic cops on O'Connell Bridge I estimate were gone by '68 at latest. Beautiful film nonetheless
I remember the black and white hop on / hop off buses were still operating until sometime in the late 70's in tandem with the newer ones, which eventually became orange, then green sometime in the 80's I think. But yes it just doesn't look like it's 1976, even by Irish standards.
its the 1960's - if it was the 70's you would see at least one coke bottle cortina or a sweeney type ford granada, but all the cars in this are pre 1970:)
No - the buses had been green from the 1930s into the mid 1960s. They then went cream and blue (double deckers) and red and white (single deckers), then orange, then a lighter green (the colour you are referring to) and the last time I was there (about six years ago)they were yellow and blue.
The cars and the fashions - plus the green double deckers - suggest the late 60's. Then there is the lack of traffic in so many of the shots. Any connection to 1976 might be the transfer era from 8mm film to something more modern.
@@inquisitor229 This is Pathe stock. I'm sure they would have been shooting with 16mm. I think the 1976 reference is purely a typo as its not a Pathe presentation.

this has to be between 1967 and 1970 judging by the fashion. There is no way its 1976. Check out the "Driving in Dublin in 1976" video to draw a comparison. There was bell bottom denim flares and platform shoes everywhere in 1976 and there is none to be seen in this particular film. It has a late 1960's feel to it. I'd be pushing it to say 1970 even.
Before the invasion. ireland has lost its culture, its sense of humour and most of all its sovereignty. if we follow britian and leave the EU and close our borders we might have a chance but i feel its already to late. its actually very sad.
Exactly Ireland’s catholic culture is being taken over by Islam and other migrants. Not only that the eu forcing same sex marriage referendums and abortion referendums to make Ireland become less catholic.
The problem is not the EU, Ireland has opt outs on migration. The problem is our political parties particularly FF and FG, they do not work for us and they ignore the opt outs, they want as many in as possible and don't even care where they get them from, what qualifications they have or what their background is.

There was a lot of poverty and so many from outside the city never needed to visit it.

No - the buses had been green from the 1930s into the mid 1960s. They then went cream and blue (double deckers) and red and white (single deckers), then orange, then a lighter green (the colour you are referring to) and the last time I was there (about six years ago)they were yellow and blue.
